Just had it applied and I love it. Shiny and subtle.
I own several Butter London lacquers, and yes, I might be considered an addict....
But I was thrilled to discover that Chimney Sweep & Gobsmacked are the same exact shade of deep charcoal - making an elegant pairing for the new nail trend using different texture lacquers in the same color family for a fresh take on a classic.
I used Chimney Sweep (a shiny glimmer grey) all over my nail, and painted Gobsmacked (a uniquely elegant, micro-glitter *matte* charcoal) just on the tips - an edgy, modern, "French manicure."
I've loved Chimney Sweep for years - especially during Fall & Winter, but I just fell in LOVE with the utterly original look of Gobsmacked. Its micro glitter, deep grey, matte finish is surprisingly sexy and elegant - perfect for an LBD, or a subtle sparkle with formal wear.
GOBSMACKED IS LIKE NOTHING ELSE - to keep the unique matte finish, I would avoid using a top coat. The finish texture is smoother than BL's traditional glitter lacquers, and has held up well without the protection of a top coat. It is simply stunning.
I've tried numerous other lines' glitter polishes, and too often they fail to adequately cover, or just look "off" - with glitter particles either too big or too small. BL has achieved the proverbial Goldilocks-approved "just right" glitter ratio.
Other modern "French Manicure" tonal matches include: GREYS: Chimney Sweep & Gobsmacked, REDS: Knees Up & Chancer, BLACKS: Union Jack Black / Branwen's Feather & The Black Knight, GREENS: British Racing Green / Thames / Stag Do & Jack The Lad, and COPPERS: Brown Sugar & Bit Faker.

I love you butter! so nice so smooth, i feel it chips less than other polishes. This time I bought Trout Pout such an amazing color. I highly recommend the bottom and top coat by Butter London! Keeps you chip free!
